| Regional ecosystem | 7.12.63 |
|---|---|
| Vegetation Management Act class | Of concern |

| Short description | Eucalyptus moluccana woodland on granite and rhyolite |
| Structure code | Woodland |
| Description | Eucalyptus moluccana (gum-topped box) woodland. Granite and rhyolite. Not a Wetland. (BVG1M: 13d). |
| Supplementary description | Stanton and Stanton (2005), R134, G134 |
| Protected areas | Paluma Range NP, Kirrama NP |
| Fire management guidelines | SEASON: Cool, dry season (April-Sep). INTENSITY: Low to moderate. INTERVAL: 2-5 years. INTERVAL_MIN: 2. INTERVAL_MAX: 5. STRATEGY: Mosaic burn < 30%. Begin burning early in the fire season, with progressive patch fires burnt through the year. Stop burning when the network of fires and other breaks is sufficient to impede fire spread later in the year. Storm-burning may be used to add further diversity to the fire mosaic. ISSUES: An occasional moderate severity fire may be used to manage overabundant recruitment of trees. Maintaining a fire mosaic will ensure protection of animal habitats and mitigate against wildfires. |
| Comments | 7.12.63: Scattered along the western edge of the bioregion from the Atherton Tablelands to west of Paluma. |
